Selenium Recording Player (Labs)

Reads a project that is created by the Selenium IDE browser extension, available for Google Chrome and Firefox, and executes one specific test from the project.

The Selenium IDE is a browser extension can be used to record 'tests' belonging to one project (.side file).It is a convenient tool to record and replay interaction with a web page. Note, that the browser that will be opened by the Selenium IDE does share existing extensions, cookies and cache, but executing a script will open a browser without the cache (like a incognito browser). It is therefore recommended to clear the cache of a web page and disable extensions before using the Selenium IDE to record a test in order to not miss e.g. cookie banners that obstruct other elements. Clear page data Chrome, Clear page data Firefox.

After installing the browser extension, click on the Selenium IDE icon in your browser and follow the instructions to create a new project and within it a new test. The IDE will record every interaction on this page and store it in a .side file. The path to this project file and the specific test name have to be set in the configuration dialog of the Web Interaction Script Executor.
